Social Engagement

Bocconi University recognizes social engagement and responsibility as values that are integral to its institutional identity.

Because of this social commitment, the Community and Social Engagement project has been launched, with the aim of contributing to the personal development of the students, faculty and staff that make up the Bocconi community.

The University offers a number of ideas and suggestions on these issues, by creating not only moments for reflection, but also concrete opportunities for personal engagement. Find out more!
